Irish designer Simon Dennehy has developed ergonomic furniture for primary schools targeting know problem areas of concern including posture, chair height and the relationship to the work surface. He undertook detailed research into this subject matter during his M.A. and hopes that Perch will alleviate poor posture in school children which is linked to obvious symptoms like back pain and possible issues of poor digestion, nausea, headaches and bad circulation.

Wow, I love these... almost makes me wish we did more business in school furniture. Of course, I'm a sucker for orange chairs, but these look really cool even beyond the flashy color!
Looks great. This is a major problem in schools and offices and I'm glad to someone determined to solving this problem.
Simon, I've seen your work on many blogs so far, and you seem to be getting great comments about the design of the chair. I like it, but I must confess, that i really love the desk design. Id love to try one out. It may even be suitable for laptop use as well?? Have you made a physical model?
Is the desk available for purchase yet? Do you think the size would fit a 6-7 year old?
